The Belize Companies and Corporate Affairs Registry restored its online business registry after a six-day outage caused by a cybersecurity breach that involved unauthorized access and document downloads. The registry disabled passport-based registration temporarily and introduced download limits while continuing its investigation.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Govtech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Your business registry access methods just tightened after a breach exploited passport-based registrations. You need to reassess user authentication flows and limit exposure to avoid similar shutdowns.
